Zoning

The Township of Centre Wellington's Zoning By-law establishes and regulates land use in the Township by implementing the policies of our Official Plan.

The Zoning By-law is available here without the maps for file size considerations.

Rezoning

Rezoning is typically required when a new or additional use is requested for a property and/or several lot regulations can't be complied with. A variance is required when the deviation from the zoning regulation can be considered minor in terms of extent and impacts. Completing a zoning application is the first step in this process.

Variances

The Committee of Adjustment handles applications for the following:

  • Minor variances from the provisions of a zoning by-law
  • Enlargement, extension or alteration of a legal non-conforming use of land, buildings or structures

A Variance Application is the first step in this process. Prior to submitting an application please read the checklist. If you are an agent preparing the application form for a client, please include the owner's authorization form.

 

The Committee of Adjustment also handles applications for:

 

Committee of Adjustment hearings are held monthly and conducted in person in the Council Chamber, 1 MacDonald Square, Elora, Ontario.
